232. Implement Queue using Stacks

Implement the following operations of a queue using stacks.

• push(x) -- Push element x to the back of queue.
• pop() -- Removes the element from in front of queue.
• peek() -- Get the front element.
• empty() -- Return whether the queue is empty.

Notes:

• You must use only standard operations of a stack -- which means only push to top, peek/pop from top, size, and is empty operations are valid.
• Depending on your language, stack may not be supported natively. You may simulate a stack by using a list or deque (double-ended queue), as long as you use only standard operations of a stack.
• You may assume that all operations are valid (for example, no pop or peek operations will be called on an empty queue).

Stack Design

class MyQueue {
    Deque<Integer> stack = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();
    // Push element x to the back of queue.
    public void push(int x) {
        //Organize at push stage becasue peek needs to see the top.
        Deque<Integer> temp = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();
        while(!stack.isEmpty()){
            temp.push(stack.pop());
        }
        stack.push(x);
        while(!temp.isEmpty()){
            stack.push(temp.pop());
        }
    }

    // Removes the element from in front of queue.
    public void pop() {
        stack.pop();
    }

    // Get the front element.
    public int peek() {
        return stack.peek();
    }

    // Return whether the queue is empty.
    public boolean empty() {
        return stack.isEmpty();
    }
}

225. Implement Stack using Queues

Implement the following operations of a stack using queues.

• push(x) -- Push element x onto stack.
• pop() -- Removes the element on top of the stack.
• top() -- Get the top element.
• empty() -- Return whether the stack is empty.

Notes:

• You must use only standard operations of a queue -- which means only push to back, peek/pop from front, size, and is emptyoperations are valid.
• Depending on your language, queue may not be supported natively. You may simulate a queue by using a list or deque (double-ended queue), as long as you use only standard operations of a queue.
• You may assume that all operations are valid (for example, no pop or top operations will be called on an empty stack).

Update (2015-06-11):
The class name of the Java function had been updated to MyStack instead of Stack.

Stack Design

class MyStack {
    Deque<Integer> queue = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();
    // Push element x onto stack.
    public void push(int x) {
       queue.add(x);
       for(int i=0;i<queue.size()-1;i++) {
           queue.add(queue.poll());
       }
    }

    // Removes the element on top of the stack.
    public void pop() {
        queue.poll();
    }

    // Get the top element.
    public int top() {
        return queue.peek();
    }

    // Return whether the stack is empty.
    public boolean empty() {
        return queue.isEmpty();
    }
}
